The first-ever European Global Citizen Festival is taking place in Hamburg on Thursday. Watch the concert live stream below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, the Global Citizen Festival is an event organized by the Global Poverty Project, which fights poverty around the world. The festival is a way to reward supporters while raising awareness at the same time. But not just anyone can get a ticket.

In order to gain entrance to the concert, participants must earn points by doing acts of charity. By taking action, volunteers aid the Global Poverty Project’s mission while earning rewards. And the biggest reward of all is a ticket to the Global Citizen Festival. The first such event was held in New York City in 2012, featuring the Foo Fighters and John Legend, among others. Headliners in 2013 included Alicia Keys and John Mayer.

Carrie Underwood and Jay Z were among those who performed in 2014, while 2015 brought out Beyonce and Coldplay. And last year’s show featured Rihanna and Demi Lovato. Now Lovato is in Germany for the inaugural European event. While she’ll serve as a presenter today, Coldplay will be taking the stage to perform. Pharrell, Shakira and Ellie Goulding are all slated to entertain, too, and there should be some surprise guests as well.

The festival coincides with the G20 Summit, which starts on Friday. Many world leaders are in Hamburg for the conference, including Canada’s Justin Trudeau, who will speak at the concert. Fortunately, fans and activists around the globe can tune in and watch all that goes down. The live stream is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Stay tuned!
